The research to improve outcomes in critically ill patients through nutrition support has steadily progressed over the past 4 decades. One current approach to this problem is the addition of specific nutrients as primary therapy to improve host defenses and improve the outcomes of critically ill patients. The field is referred to as“pharmaconutrition”,focusing investigations on each nutrient to understand its pharma-cological effects on immune and clinical outcomes. The purpose of this review was to introduce some of the known pharmaconutrients such as glutamine,arginine,ω-3 fatty acids,vitamin C,zinc,and selenium,regard-ing critical ill adults and children.

Malnutrition is highly prevalent in hospitalized children and has been associated with rele-vant clinical outcomes.Timely nutrition risk screening and reasonable nutrition support therapy subsequently for the high risk patients is the best and standard way.Five nutrition risk screening tools have been developed to identify the nutritional risk in hospitalized children.Even though nutrition risk screening is a necessary part of standard pediatric care,there are no international standardized screening tools for pediatric inpatients so far.The near future will provide us with comparative data on teh exi sting tools which may oc ntribute to deve-loping a standard for admitted nutrti ion risk screening in pediatrics.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Zhenqi fuzheng capsules(ZQFZ)on the immune function of hypoimmune mice.METHODS: The hypoimmune mice model was established using cyclophosphamid;the effects of ZQFZ on the nonspecific immunity,cell immunity and humoral immune function of mice were observed by determining the function of peritoneal macrophage,the delayed hypersensitivity and serum antibody of hemolysin etc.RESULTS:ZQFZ significantly promoted the function of peritoneal macrophages,improved the phagocytic rate and phagocytic index,markedly enhanced the dinitro-chlorobenzene-induced delayed hypersensitivity,and up-regulated the serum antibody level of hemolysin.CONCLUSION:ZQFZ have remarkable action in promoting the immune function of hypoimmune mice.

Cytokine-effects of soluble CD23(sCD23) were investigated in our laboratory. We found that sCD23 prepared by ourself could increase the migration inhibition effect of nomal peripheral blood leukocytes stimulated with PHA. It is proposed that sCD23 may have cytokine-like bioactivities on activated T cell and regulate immune response via an unknown mechanism.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapy with combination of Fosamax and simple use of Fosamax in osteoporosis and steopenia of perimenopausal women.Methods One hundred and thirteen perimenopausal women with osteoporosis accepted treatment in Outpatient Clinic of Panyu Convalescent Hospital of Guangzhou from December 2010 to June 2014 were chosen and divided into the control group (n=55) and the observation group (n=58) according to therapeutic method.The control group was treated with Fosamax alone while the observation group was treated with HRT basing on the simple use of Fosamax.The therapeutic effect,lumbar and hip bone mineral density(BMD) level,tibial ultrasound velocity (SOS) and T values of tibia,gonadal hormone concentrations,endometrial thickness and adverse reaction of the two groups before and after the therapy were compared.Results (1) The total effective rate of the observation group after the treatment was 93.10％,significantly higher than tbat of the control group (78.18％,x2=3.829,P=0.034).(2) Before and after treatment in two groups,there were statistically significant differences in terms of lumbar spine BMD,hip BMD,SOS of tibia,blood follicle stimulating prime (FSH) and estradiol(E2) (P＜0.05),and there were statistically significant differences between the two groups after the treatment in terms of lumbar spine BMD,hip B MD,SOS of tibia,FSH and E2 (t =3.389,5.012,3.997,5.829,3.902;P=0.035,0.028,0.033,0.024,0.038).(3) There was statistically significant differences in term of the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (6.90％ vs.16.36％;x2=8.273,P=0.012).Conclusion Compared with alone use of Fosamax,the therapeutic effect of hormone replacement therapy with combination of Fosamax and in osteoporosis and steopenia of perimenopausal women is more significant with low occurrence rate of adverse reaction.It is worth popularization.

Objective:To analyze and determine the main component in volatilization oil which is extracted from the Chinese herbal medicine Kaempferia galanga L.Methods:Volatilization oil is obtained by steam-distillation from commercial available Kaempferia galanga L..After re-crystallization,GC-MS,UV-Vis,NMR,IR were processed for analysis and structure determination.Results:The m/z=205 peak in MS represents the quasi-molecular ion peak.The strongest absorption peak at 304nm in UV-Vis shows that there is big conjugated system in the molecule.Along with the data of chemical shifts and coupling constants of 1H-NMR,13C-NMR and wave numbers of IR absorption peaks,the main ingredient of Kaempferia galanga L.volatilization oil is verified as ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(E)-acrylate.Conclusion:We have employed advanced methods in separation and analysis in the determination of structure of the main ingredient in volatilization oil extracted from Kaempferia galanga L.and get detailed data to support the results,the methods are reliable and the results are dependable.

Objective:To investigate genetic polymorphism of four X chromosome short tandem repeats(X-STR)loci(DXS7132、 DXS6789,HPRTB,DXS8378)in Chongqing Han population.Methods:EDTA-blood samples were collected from the unrelated individuals in Chongqing.After being extracted with Chelex-100 method,the DNA samples were amplified by PCR technique.The PCR products were analyzed by PAGE,genotyped with silver stain method.Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested,and then used direct counting method to calculate allele and genotype frequency of these four loci.Results:The polymorphisms of all four STR loci were obtained from 120 unrelated females and 91 unrelated males from Chinese Han group.?2 tests on the genotype frequencies in female reveal that genotype frequencies in females did not depart from Hardy—Weinberg equilibrium.Conclusion:It was suggested that DXS7132,DXS6789,HPRTB,DXS8378 locus are suitable for individual identification and paternity testing,and we provide new selectable STR markers for chromosome X haplotype in forensic application.

Objective To evaluate the value of hysteroscope in the diagnosis of the cause of perimenopausal uterine bleeding. Methods 158 patients were checked with HS.Orientation biopsy and diagnostic uterine curettage were performed. Results The rate of the sensitivity of HS for endometrial illness was 87.8%(79/90),endometrial ployp 96.20%(25/26),submucous fibromyoma 3/4,endometrial proliferation 62.5%(20/32),Endometrial cancer 3/5. Conclusions Endometrium can be directly seen with HS.The conbination of HS with uterine curettage and pathological examination is an optimal method in early diagnosis of the cause of PUMB.
